About the report
While addressable TV can be very profitable for broadcasters, it also presents several challenges from the tech, business, and legal points of view. Staying relevant means that publishers must build a comprehensive tech stack to harness the power of data as well as to control and monetise their video inventory effectively. It often requires large investments of resources and new infrastructure. It also calls for new ways of thinking about their commercial proposition to ensure that both parts of their offer – classical and data-driven – work in harmony and not against each other. egta has compiled this insight to help its member sales houses as they consider the need to develop targeted ad products.
